ABSTRACT
Objective@#This small case series demonstrated pars plana vitrectomy and silicone tamponade without internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling to be a simple, safe, and effective surgical technique for the treatment of myopic traction maculopathy (MTM).@*Methods@#This is a small case series consisting of 3 eyes with MTM. In all eyes, pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade was performed by a single vitreoretinal surgeon. Functional and anatomic outcomes are reported.@*Results@#All 3 eyes had improved visual acuity with no noted short-term complications such as iatrogenic macular hole and retinal detachment. Although foveoschisis was only partly anatomically resolved in 2 out of the 3 cases, functional outcome, in terms of visual acuity at last visit, was satisfactory.@*Conclusion@#Vitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade without ILM peeling is a simple, effective, and safe optional surgical technique to treat MTM.
